A Commitment to Education
The Minot community prides itself on its ability to provide
superior educational opportunities for students of all ages. With top
quality public and private secondary and elementary schools, a major university,
trade and vocational schools, adult education, and programs for the mentally
and physically disabled, Minot serves as a regional center for learning.
Minot's commitment to education is evident in a
number of important statistics. The following are some examples of the
positive educational atmosphere in Minot:
The public and private high school graduation rates are
90% and 100% respectively, far superior to the national graduation rate
of 71%.
The average daily attendance rates are 98% for both the
public and private high schools.
Between 70 and 85% of high school students who graduate
from Minot public schools go on to continue their formal education. Ninety
percent of those who graduate from the private Bishop Ryan High School
go on to continue their formal training.
The Minot schools offer a broad academic base with special
emphasis on computer technology. There is one computer for every two students
in the Minot schools.
Character
Counts! is a local, grass roots effort of concerned citizens in Minot
and many communities nationwide which embrace the Six Pillars of Character
as the basis for understanding and evaluating all ethical behavior. The
overriding mission of Character Counts! is to strengthen the character
of America's youth. The Minot Public School Board has endorsed and is
supporting this movement.
 Junior
Achievement
Junior
Achievement is a program that brings business people into K-6 classrooms
to lead the students through hands-on activities that show the relevance
of education to success in business and in life. You can be a part of
this interactive learning experience by volunteering to become a facilitator
for JA. Classroom sessions involve about one hour per week for five weeks,
and all training and materials are provided. If you are interested in
becoming a JA facilitator, you have the option of picking the month,
location and grade level for your participation. Please call the Chamber
at 852-6000 or email: chamber@minotchamber.org.
